Cold Weather Care
If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stor-
ed in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do
not attempt to operate the washer until it has had a chance to
warm up. Water from the previous cycle may remain.
Winterizing the Washer
Follow these steps to prevent damage from freezing water.
1. Unplug washer.
2. Remove two screws from bottom of front panel.
3. Remove hose from drain pump.
4. Let water drain out and reconnect hose.
5. Turn off water supply.
6. Remove fill hoses and allow them to drain.
7. Use compressed air to blow water out of water valve:
a. Plug washer into electrical power.
b. Select a Warm wash temperature.
c. Start a cycle. This will open both sides of water valve.
d. Use compressed air to blow out any residual water.
Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel.
Some cleaning products may harm the finish on the control
panel or damage the interior. DO NOT use products that con-
tain alcohol on the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after
cleaning.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or
other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe imme-
diately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled
on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on control
panel or cabinet.
The washtub will need no particular care though it may need
rinsing or wiping after some unusual loads have been washed.
This also may be necessary if too little detergent has been
used.
Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out
after use. This helps prevent musty odors from developing.
The agitator should not be removed except for service. The
washtub is designed to be self cleaning.
Replacing Hoses
Hoses and other rubber parts deteriorate after extended use.
Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for any visible
signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deteriora-
tion listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses
should be replaced every five years.
Flood safe hoses often can be the cause for no fill or slow fill
issues. They are not recommended. Only use replacement fill
hoses from the manufacturer.
Filter Screens
Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage
every six months. Clean or replace them if necessary.
If the washer is filling with water slower than normal, check
the filter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. 803615 from the nearest author-
ized parts distributor.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due
to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer
whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.
